Oh, well I thought it was really good fun. That course is quite good if you are feeling alright. We managed to stay away from the Elite riders and caught up with the other groups ahead. I had a go at getting away on the back section but went too early and could not hold off the pack. I did not have much left for the sprint and annoyingly one of the guys in my group who was hanging off the back in the first lap won it. Have to remember him next time so that I can put in a bigger dig on the hills when he is struggling so can get rid of him before the sprint.
Gavin that circuit is hard around the first part as it is all drags and small hills, I think your group had a few quite strong riders in it which is maybe why you found it a bit tough. Ah well, that is the handicap series over for another year, no placings for me this year but as I always say these races are great fun whether you win em or not.
